Service A

Should I do service A or should just reset it so it doesn't come up anymore?

You must do the service
Your oil will be pretty ordinary and if you just reset the indicator you could be up for a huge amount of cash for a new engine soon.
Remember oil is much cheaper than white metal

Then you can Reset the service indicator. An A service is not much more than a filter / oil change and inspection of tires fan belt brakes and general inspection of fluid levels

I just had Service A conducted and it was the oil and oil filter change, a cabin air filter replacement, overall inspection, a fuel injector cleaner additive, and topping up of fluids as required. Rear tires are wearing more heavily than the fronts (RWD C250) but everything was looking good.

Same here last week, except I have not injector cleaner. Advisor said since it's a RWD car, three sets of rear tires to two sets of front tires is about the ratio in terms of wear.
